Maintenance Bypass Cabinet (MBC) - Various sizes available
The Maintenance Bypass Cabinet ancillary provides a factory line-in-match wrap-around bypass OEM solution that can be attached to the UPS for close-coupling. The MBC is designed with varying sizes ranging from 200-800mm for Vertiv™ Liebert® APM2 to provide solutions for ratings up to 300kVA and can be configured in Three (3) or Four (4) breaker configurations. The MBC allows for transfer of connected loads to an alternate power path, allowing full isolation of the UPS. The UPS can then be turned “OFF” and removed from service with no interruption of power to connected loads.
